• Discovered by Michael Keane Cross References: Crawford: CDDO-001, Cherrypickers: FS-10-2004D-401 Comments: CONECA does not list this variety. The Cherrypickers’ Guide to Rare Die Varieties suggests that a Denver Mint employee may have intentionally added the partial extra ear. Other severe rotations and offset hubbings have been recorded such as the major 2009-D District of Columbia doubled die reverse quarter and a number of Lincoln cent reverse doubled dies produced on the single squeeze hubbing presses. The overlay images are courtesy of Billy G. Crawford and are quite compelling.
